This, along with the seizure of ballots and voting data, is another massive red flag for Americans: This is the kind of thing authoritarians say and do when they are preparing to rig the vote.

They are preparing to steal your vote, and you have to take action now to stop them.

WSJ Exclusive: A U.S. intelligence official has alleged wrongdoing by Tulsi Gabbard in a whistleblower complaint that is so highly classified it has sparked months of wrangling over how to share it with Congress, according to U.S. officials and others familiar with the matter.

“We need leaders who are genuinely committed to a progressive future that includes breaking the oligarchy, holding the criminal elite accountable and pursuing policies that celebrate diversity and expand equality.

“That means pursuing radical Americanism.”

Please don’t turn the Epstein files into a joke.
This is real for survivors.
Many former victims are realizing for the first time they were used by a system.
How this is discussed online matters.
Tread carefully.

What's most amazing about this is the fact that the WSJ needed a “study” to figure it out.

Trump sues US taxpayers for $10 billion, then decides whether US taxpayers have to pay him the $10 billion. I guess the billions he made overseas in the past year selling out America to his foreign business partners isn't enough.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Greg Bovino getting pulled out of Minnesota to terrorize another community is not accountability. At all.

Reposted by Ben Frank
Note that Bovino doesn’t say the agents are no longer with Homeland Security.

That’s because they have been removed from the jurisdiction as part of a criminal coverup, not as punishment.
Bovino confirms that the agents involved in the shooting of Alex Pretti are no longer in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
